In the course of any activity, it’s not uncommon for issues to arise. Most of them you will figure out on your own, but occasionally it’s nice to get advice from others who are engaging in the same pursuits.
To that end, I’ve written up a few articles dealing with various aspects of head-shaving. Some are detailed answers to questions I’ve received, others are merely musings on my part for no great end.

My friend has shaved his head for 10+ years. He would love to grow his hair back, however, he said he’s never been able to make it past day 5 because the pain is unbearable. He’s tried several home remedies with no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated…thanks;)
I’m not sure why there would be pain after 5 days. I would recommend that he speak with his family doctor about it and get some feedback. It’s a first time that I’m hearing such a problem and don’t want to provide a incorrect recommendation
